The National Lottery has confirmed that an email notification has been sent to the Kildare winner, encouraging them to check their account.

Darragh O'Dwyer National Lottery spokesperson said:

“What a fantastic way to kick off the Halloween weekend for one EuroMillions player in Kildare, who has become Ireland's newest National Lottery millionaire after winning an incredible €1,005,000 in Friday night's special EuroMillions Ireland Only Raffle draw.

Nearly 30 cent in every €1 spent on National Lottery games goes back to Good Causes in the areas of sport, youth, health, welfare, education, arts, heritage and the Irish Language. In total, over €7 billion has been raised for Good Causes since the National Lottery was established 39 years ago. In 2025 alone, €238.7 million was raised for local Good Causes in communities across Ireland.
